Are you serious? Man, what a waste of 30 seconds.

If you have been having troubles with placing lvzs lately, it stems from the fact that its x16, and not x12.

Tables and lists would be nice, yes. Yea, it would be great if the news file used Courier instead of Ariel (or whatever it does use).

thanks! My speling is pretty good too.

Can MM be banned from posting here because to first degree murder of the english language?

Or, do it the easy way and have the clients include accel in the position packets they send...

Don't bug him.

What happens when you use ASSS, and the command isn't putfile anymore, or even better, you want to send the file with ?sendfile to a friend?

Unless someone posts a n00b->English translation, I'm never gonna know what you said.

Java is only partially interperted, and even a fully interpertiation is marginally slower than a native application. Java compiles portions of the at run time to make them faster in a process called Just In Time (JIT) compilation. As I recall, C# is also interpreted (possibly with JIT like Java), so it's the worst of both worlds . As for ugly, the Swing Set's theme can be replaced with something more to the user's taste, but thats a very subjective matter. And you can even use the Abstract Windowing Toolkit if you want a Win95/98/XP look.

Guess you aren't on a chat channel with SOS, ekted... He raves about it every chance he gets. Personally, I will never install .net on my computer, no matter how much SOS tries to pretend C# is better than Java.

My zone (SSCI Hyperspace) has upgradable ships. I think SSA CounterStrike has some kind of upgrading too.

Kinda makes the whole think a moot point, doesn't it?

Summary: Having insight to any part of the code leads to being able to crack continuum easier. Not to mention that priitk would never do it.

It cant? I would have thought it could. Oh well, guess its all in the collision detection code. Oh, I love how its 'radius' and not 'diameter'

I always thought a geek was a subclass of nerd. Oh well, guess you learn something new every day.

Same problem here. In addition, ?find commands are not working, and BanG commands are lagging, but chat channels seem to have no lag.

I can see no reasonable way in which you can construe that I am suggesting this be done. Releasing the majority of the code removes the obscureification of the client, allowing memory modification cheats. You need to remember that there are more security methods present than just packet encryption

It will never happen. Who cares if we could live with it?

It passes through the biller, so it appears as a remote PM.

You dont need to give out the security library at ALL. If you can find client developers who are a little less up tight about open source development and are willing to accept patches all you need to do to allow third party contribution to the client is to release the source code with a nullsecurity.lib/a for instance. This would remove the security mechanisms and only allow you to play on servers which have you in their VIP list, just like open source bots. Audited patches deemed worthy could go into the client. The only clients which could play on the real server would be the ones compiled with realsecurity.lib/a by the central developers for instance. (Personally I would do it with class libraries ... using classes with operator overloading as types for sensitive variables would allow a much nicer abstraction of data protection mechanisms.) That kind of release brings two hazards with it. The first and most obvious is that someone can make a client with perfect physics (which has been the major problem with hacked clients). The second problem is that someone now knows what most of the code does, and can find the continuum encryption code easier in the binary. This is a problem to some degree no matter how much code you release. This is why it would be a bad idea to release the menu code. EDIT: Which is almost exactly what ekted said.

Zooming in and out is harder with a 2d sprite based game, but not impossible by any means. The problem of course is that Priitk might as well be dead for all the new features he has added recently.
